An excerpt from Paramahansa Yogananda's revelatory commentary on the original teachings of Jesus.
'Be the change you want to see in the world' Gandhi
....The ordinary man thinks of the world,his family, and his work as his business; but the spiritual man knows that the duties to parents, children, family ties, the business world, and all else are to be carried out as service to God. Everyone should help to maintain the well being of the world by a universal consciousness of love and service, rather than a selfish man whose actions are compelled and actuated by instinctive blood ties and greed.
Businesses should be spiritulized; everything should be done with the consciousness of God within. Man should endeavour in his works to please God by harmonizing all things with His ideals. Businesses that conform with God's divine laws is of lasting benefit to mankind. Moneymaking enterprise that cater only to human luxury, and to false or evil propensities, are bound to be destroyed by the working of divine law of the survival of the worthiest. Any businesses that harms the real spiritual comfort of people does no real service, and is bound to meet with destruction by the very nature of activities.
A successful life must begin with spiriual culture, for all the material and moral actions are governed by spiritual laws. Noble parents, lovers of God, should wish the first interest of their children to be in God's business. They should start their children on the right road in life by showing them the way to be proficient in contacting God and doing all things with God-consciousness. A life can be successful, healthy and complete - balanced with wisdom and happiness-when activity is guided by God's inner intuitive direction.
In expressing the proper attitude toward his parents - that though duty to parents is important,it is secondary to one's first and foremost duty to the Heavenly Father - Jesus spoke not only of his own divine dispensation, but the truth that every man should remember: 'God first'.
Wise words expresed by the Yogi!
Love, light and abundant unlimited blessings to all:)
